Priceline Hotel: Need help Seoul 4*

[soybang]

I need 1 hotel room in Seoul 4/16/12~4/20/12.

I searched wins on the forum and it seems like people have been getting 4* (seems like there is one 4* hotel available in Seoul through Priceline, Renaissance) around $80~100.

I tried different combinations of dates (4/16~4/18,19 or 4/17~19 or etc.) and on one of the dates I went all the way up to $140 but still have not gotten it.

I have went up to $150 on 5*, got a counter offer to increase to 199. At 150, with taxes and all it would be 200/night, if I increase the initial bid price any more... I don't know if I want to pay that much.

I'm perfectly okay with staying at a 4* but why is it that I can't seem to get it?

I actually did get the weekend 4/21/12~4/23/12 at $94 (was waiting till I get my weekdays to do a winning post on the forum).

Is the hotel prices higher during the week through Priceline? Are they in more demand during the week? Rooms are still available through other sites so I know they are not sold out on rooms, but maybe all their rooms for Priceline is booked?

Thank you in advance for any advices on getting the room.

Please post your wins as you receive them as there could be another user right now looking to stay in this area for the dates that you won, surely they'd benefit from know your winning bid price and the hotel received.

Rates are date specific, but if you post your previous win and then reply to this thread, we'll be able to use the winning bid data to assist in researching the difficulties you're having for the midweek dates of this trip.
